Pacemakers are medical devices implanted in the body to regulate heart rhythms. They're composed of electronic circuits with batteries and leads anchored to the heart muscle to stimulate it. However, ...

A pacemaker is a small, battery-powered device that controls the heartbeat. Our heartbeats are controlled by a highly efficient, biological electrical system that ensures our heart steadily pumps ...

Recycled pacemakers can function as well as new devices, according to a new study. These used and reconditioned devices have the potential to increase access to pacemaker therapy in low- and ...

Pakistan, June 1 -- Chinese researchers have reached a significant milestone in cardiovascular science by creating the ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses the regeneration of the cardiovascular system. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

A revolutionary pacemaker that re-establishes the heart's naturally irregular beat is set to be trialled in New Zealand heart patients this year. A revolutionary pacemaker that re-establishes the ...

An experimental leadless pacemaker is able to capture enough energy from the heart to partially power the device, according to results from a new proof-of-concept study. The prototype device harvested ...

Millions of Americans spend weeks recovering from heart surgery and other operations to repair brain and bone injuries every year. As special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from Chicago, ...

A new, temporary pacemaker is smaller than a grain of rice. John A. Rogers / Northwestern University Researchers have developed the smallest temporary pacemaker ever created. It’s littler than a grain ...
